Better Seeding Needed.

There is too much hap-hazzard worL
connected with seeding to grass. There
should be mole effort at permanency, more
painstaking in preparing the soil and II
putting in the seed. To secure good
grass crop, this should be the only crop ex
pected from the land. Clover and timothl
will do well sown in the early spring will
wheat or rye, but most other grasses viii
not do well with any grain crop, and sho,Il,
be put in as early as possible in the spring
as an entire crop, The growth of the tint
grasses is slow at first, as they come III
with only tiny shoot, and the spread o;
root and foliage to the full extent really
lakes two years. The seed is more costly
and a greater amount Is required, hence Il
cannot be done SO often, but If well done it
pays best in the end. Plenty of fine ma.
1ure should be prepared to be narrowed IN
yith-the seed, and in its absence from 20t
o 800 pounds of superphosphate, or other
reliable concentrated fertilizer should b,
,pread over an acre. There is no plac,
where these kinds of manures will pay bet

Gardening Under piftioultisn.

The Chinese are very Industrious people
and nothing is allowed to go to waste that
can possibly be utilized. As the Empire of
China is the largest on the globe, and CON
tains nearly half of the entire number of
the human race, the necessity of economy
is very apparent. They not only cultivate
the land, but all the lakes ponds and
marshes vre gardens in which aquatic
plants, suitable for food, are largely raised.
Among these the water chestnut is pre-
eminent, and is said TO be of a very palat-
able and Wholesome nature. In a narrative
of Lord Maeartuey's Embassy to China. it
is related that his lordshfp's attendants, in
pass through part of that Empiie, saw
man cultiyatlng the side of precipice, and,
on examination, they found he had rope
around his waist, which was secured
at the top of the mountain, and by which
he let himself down to any part of the
precipice where a few yards of available
ground gave him encouragement 10 plant
his vegetables and his corn. The whole of
the cultivated spots, which were at some
distance from each other, appeared to be
not more than half an acre and near the

Economic Way Of Raising Potatoes,

A most successful way of raising potatoes
in the South is by planting them in what is
called 'lazy bed,' which Is done by apply
ing manure very heavily in the rows and
then covering the whole bed with straw,
leaves, corn-stalks, or any coarse litter. by
this plan, no working or wedding isrequired
and the growth is not stopped BY the frs
hot, dry weather, as the ground is kept cool
and moist, which greatly increases the yield
of the potatoes and make them of much
better quality.
A good plan, by which several objects arc
combined, is to select a field which is to be
sown to wheat next fall, and fence ir a
much as will make good-sized feeding lO4
for cows and sheep. In thlsenclosure feet
all of the corn-stalks. The following sprin,
take the adjoining land for potatoes; plov
well; then lay off three or four rows at u
time on the side furthest from the COW pen
Make the burrows deep; drop the potatoes
at good distances apart, and fill the furroV
entirely up with coarse manure, keeping on
in this way until all are planted. The OBJ
ject in planting only u few rows at time is,
to avoid running the manure wagon oyei
the burrows, as this would destroy them
After the field is all planted, rake with 8
hay or stalk-rakc the stalks from the COW
pen on the potato plet, SO that the covering
will be a thick after settling. This is al
that is needed until harvest, when III,
stalks are raked from the potatoes am
thiny spread over the wheat field, to Lt
plowed under. The potatoes can bt
gathered without digging, as they will eithe
be on the top of the ground or in the loosr
manure. In the South, potatoes raised il
this way may be left in the ground all win
ter and gathered in perfect condition in th,
spring.
| The conditions of success with thi
method are, to use plenty of manure and u
have the mulch at least foot thick. Moth
ing is so COOL for mulch as corn-stalks
and in raising potatoes in a garden, tn
stalks may he piled on the edge of the patel
in gathering, and may be used for ,seyera
